“Despite their differences, we don’t have to limit ourselves to accepting one or the other.” Strategist Keith Muir spoke to Jeevan Hammond at BITE from Creativebrief about the trending use of lo-fi social in fashion communications. As today’s audiences grow more attuned to the use of generative AI and weary of fashion's traditional obsession with curated perfection, there’s a rising demand for low-fi, authentic, and unpolished content that feels more real and relatable. Keith suggests that both AI and lo-fi content have a role in fashion communications, and brands should harness the strengths of each. By blending these mediums and subverting consumer expectations, brands can create dynamic experiences to keep audiences engaged. Read the full article here 👇
⭐ Huge luxury brands like Marc Jacobs have been jumping on TikTok to engage in trends enlisting popular creators like Nara Smith to create humorous content. ⭐ Brit Girl brand, PEACHY DEN, created an in-house social video inspired by The Devil Wears Prada that struck a chord with rom-com fans. ⭐ Burberry has cemented its brand image through quick videos showcasing the brand’s famous print. ⭐ Acne Studios has taken consumers behind the scenes at photoshoots. This quick turn-around, low-production content allows brands to tap into culture quickly, and engage in direct conversation with audiences. In contrast to AI, the method embraces a more human approach to advertising, meeting consumers where they are in a way that speaks to them. In a world of AI overwhelm, we asked industry experts: is lo-fi social here to stay in fashion communications? Featuring: Keith Muir, Strategist, Born Social, Anna Rosenthal, Business Lead, BBH London, Alexander Wilson and Jack L., Culture Lead and Head of Social Media, Gung Ho Group, and Jamie Ray, Co-Founder & CEO, Buttermilk Read more: https://lnkd.in/eSayuX_Q

"By being so you, you allow other people to be themselves." This week, one of our strategists, Russie M. took part in a panel at Campaign UK Live talking on reclaiming the narrative on black creativity. In response to the question, "How did you reclaim the narrative in an industry conversation that initially excluded you?" Russie shared insights on collaborating with industry leaders to create opportunities for junior and mid-level talent in advertising. By fostering connections and championing their growth through their former collective Fax No Printer, Russie highlighted the importance of giving a platform to emerging voices. This ongoing commitment serves as a consistent reminder to push for inclusivity across all levels of the industry, ensuring that the next generation is empowered to shape the future of advertising.

Introducing the Born Ready Class of 2024 🌟 Launched in 2023, Born Ready is our trainee scheme built to increase the grassroots diversity of the advertising industry by giving under-represented young talent the opportunity to get paid to get trained. After receiving over 300 applications for Year 2, this summer we welcomed Tyrese Walters and Tanya Tang for 12-weeks where they worked their way through Social-First School and Department Rotation before settling on their selected specialisms in Creative and Design. National Inclusion Week felt like a fitting time to share our yearbook celebrating the impact Tyrese and Tanya have made on the agency, and the contributions from across our team to bring Born Ready to life. #Nationalinclusionweek #ImpactMatters
